Will Ferrell can currently be seen in theaters in the Spanish-language comedy, Casa De Mi Padre. The actor is set to star in a new comedy from New Line called Crazy U, according to Deadline. The film is based on Andrew Ferguson's book Crazy U: One Dad’s Crash Course In Getting His Kid Into College, which the studio has just bought screen rights for. The story is about "one father’s adventures trying to brave the cutthroat competition to get his son accepted into the perfect college."

Here is the official description from the book:

Getting into college drives students to the brink of madness—and pushes their parents over the edge.Pummeled by peers, crazed by counselors, and addled by advice books, beloved writer Andrew Ferguson had come to believe that a single misstep in the race to college could wreck his son’s future.Crazy U is his disarmingly candid and hilariously subversive chronicle of their family’s journey through the admissions game, from the first color brochures landing in the mailbox to the waiting, waiting, waiting for a big envelope with the verdict. In this rollicking ride from the man Christopher Buckley has called “my all-time favorite writer,” Ferguson provides a pocket history of higher education in America, recounts the college ranking wars, and passes on the valuable tips he’s picked up during his crash course. (Number 36: Don’t apply for financial aid after midnight.) He also dares to ask: Why on earth does it all cost so much? Along the way, Ferguson’s relationship with his son grows, built from humor, loyalty, and more than a little shared anxiety. In launching his son into the world, this father may find a new place in it for himself.

I applied to only one school and was accepted. Since then it has gotten harder and harder to get into college. This sounds like a cool story for a film. and Ferrell will do well with the role. What lengths would you to to get into the college of your dreams?
